2018年翻譯資格考試初級口譯考試模擬試題：校長演講
漢譯英
我很高興應邀在這里就“教育工作者的責任”發(fā)表演講。作為美國一所中學的校長，我特別擔心我們的社會對孩子們所產生的影響。
在美國，已有確鑿證據(jù)表明，社會環(huán)境的改變對青少年造成了消極的影響。然而，有些人認為不應該干涉學生的行為，除非它直接影響到學習。
但是好的老師應該向學生傳授謙和的價值觀，培養(yǎng)學生相互尊重的習慣、堅忍不拔的毅力和責任心。教師們應該提醒學生說“請”，和“謝謝!”，提醒學生不要打斷人家的講話。
作為一名校長，如果我的學生在畢業(yè)是能做到品學兼優(yōu)，我才會認為自己是一個成功的教育者。
參考譯文
I am very glad to be invited here to make a speech on the topic of “an educator’s responsibility”. As an American high school principal, I worry, particularly, about the effects on our children of our own society.
In American, there is already compelling evidence that adolescents have been affected negatively by changing social conditions. However, some people believe that the behavior of students should not be interfered unless it is directly related to learning.
But good teachers should teach values of courtesy, mutual respect, persistence, and responsibility. They should remind students to say “please” and “thank you” and remind them not to interrupt when others are speaking.
As a principal, I would never consider myself a successful educator unless our students graduated not only as successful learners bur also as ladies and gentlemen.
